Thanks for the info. The part that won the award is really cool. We have two of the drive wheels mounted perpendicular to the normal drive train (which isn't anything unique) and they are mounted on a pneumatically deployed platform. this platform contains a tough-box that has a planetary to a globe motor. the platform is hinged on one side. when deployed the bot drives perpendicular to normal motion (great for ball pickup along the walls and for escaping from robots). The tough-box is milled with our team number on all sides and the gears are milled (dropping .5 lb.). Luckily we have a fully functional replica of this component to show them. We are very excited about it!
